How do you play this river?
$2/$5 NL..Live game.
I just sat down with my $500. Ive watched 3 hands. I raise to $20 with AK of hearts. BB calls. Hes got about $400 or so and looks like an idiot. Covered with tatoos. Pot $40. Flop AT4 with one heart. He leads for $20 and I call. Pot $80. Turn 6. he bets $20 and I raise to $70 which he calls. Pot $220. River 3h. How do you play these 3 scenarios? 1) He checks (most likely) 2) He bets $100 3) He bets $5...lol...this is what he actually did.

5 dollars into that pot is a check. I would play it the same way-that is, raise to $175

Re: How do you play this river?
Thanks AZK. Can you be a little more specific with #1 and #3?...lol
FF...$175 seems high to me. I cant see him calling that with Ax which is what I think he has....(unless he hit his kicker, in which case I lose of course). I value raised to $50 which I know is light, but I wanted a call. His $5 means nothing in terms of the pot size, but you dont think it means something different than an actual check? I mean, why bet $5 instead of checking? Does he want me to raise? Or is he just an idiot and doesnt know what he doing?

You can usually value bet larger; the raise is a stack of checks, not a $ figure in front of them. He often will call, and I think you probably could have value-bet him much stronger throughout the hand.

Re: How do you play this river?
1. Bet ~$250 overbet, looks more like a steal.
2. Make it $300 to go 3. Ignore his bet. See No. 1. Would this be a "post oak" bet? I've seen this online and have never understood the purpose.

Re: How do you play this river?
Given the way this went and the fact that you didn't raise the flop, you have no idea what he has. He made a small bet on the flop and I think your free card on the flop may have given him a set or two pair. Without knowing the player he could be an idiot with Ax or have just made two pair.
I would call the river or check behind in all cases, or if there was a more specific read I might raise a little and then fold to a re-raise.
